God's claim on the life of a Christian theater artist is no different than God's claim on the life of a preacher, teacher, plumber, carpenter, or bank clerk. But the call to the world of theater can be a dilemma for those who follow Christ. The siren song of theater is alluring and powerful. To survive in and influence the theater world, it takes a Christian whose heart, mind, and soul are well focused on the Lord of the Cosmos. This slim volume is an effort to encourage those who want to celebrate Christ in and through the world of theater. The author spent his adult life creating theater via amateur and professional settings. A follower of Christ from an early age, he has found many arenas where working from a Christian worldview and pursuing theater arts blended well and, at times, bumped up against each other somewhat harshly. This collection of devotionals tells those stories.
